Brewer’s Dictionary Of Phrase & Fable

  • Brewer's Dictionary Of Phrase & Fable

  • Attribution

  • Publication Details

    Book, 17th ed. / rev. by John Ayto, Collins, 2005

  • Description

    Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable is one of the world’s best-loved reference books. To complete this rich mix of information, Brewer and his subsequent editors have added an extraordinary and enticing miscellany of general knowledge—lists of patron saints, terms in heraldry, regimental nicknames, public house names, the principal English horse-races and famous last words. This first new Brewer’s of the 21st century maintains and respects the book’s 135-year-old tradition, while offering a wealth of fascinating new material to reflect the ‘phrase and fable’ of a changing world.

The Oxford Dictionary Of Phrase And Fable

  • The Oxford Dictionary Of Phrase And Fable

  • Attribution

    edited by Elizabeth Knowles

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2000

  • Description

    We learn, for instance, not only that “The Land of the Rising Sun” refers to Japan, but also that the phrase is a translation of Japanese Nippon (nichi “the sun” and pon “the source”). From “Barbie Doll” to “the Big Bang Theory,” “Every Dog has His Day,” and “Seven-League Boots,” The Oxford Dictionary of Phrase and Fable is a kaleidoscopic reference work on the thousands of colorful words and phrases we use every day.

Goddesses In World Mythology

  • Goddesses In World Mythology

  • Attribution

    Martha Ann, Dorothy Myers Imel

  • Publication Details

    Book, ABC-CLIO, 1993

  • Description

    There are both the famous and the obscure–from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, and the Indian goddess Nari, creator of life, to Nermain, one of the five Irish war goddesses who provoke warriors to madness in battle, and Sodza, African goddess of thunder whose loud noise drives away evil spirits. Here are goddesses responsible for every aspect of daily life: we read of the agricultural attributes of the goddess Siduri, a Near Eastern goddess of wine and wisdom who encourages her followers to eat, drink, and be merry; Included also are over 2,000 cross-references that guide the reader to other entries, showing the surprisingly intricate relationship of certain goddesses across cultures, regions, and time, as well as two indexes that divide the goddesses by name and attribute.
